Gear Lists
YOUTUBE GEAR
A lot of film-making guru always tell people when they get ask is that gear doesn’t matter. But let me tell you honestly, gear does matter. Not only to have a quality footage but also to convey what we really want to show to our audience.
Here, I listed down every single gear and accessories I used to make not just for Youtube videos, but as well as for high paying client work.
Every single gear that is listed here has their own specific used every time I switch the button and hit record.
INSTAGRAM GEAR
What I used in film-making is not what I used in shooting photos.
The main reason is that the art of taking photo compared to shooting video is way different.
That is why if you love how I shoot my photos on my Instagram profile, then I will share with you what gear I used to achieve those type of look.
AERIAL EQUIPMENT
One of the smartest, lightest and innovative film-making and photography tool that you must have!
This thing will change the way you capture things on a very different perspective.
Until now, this beast still fascinates me how this thing can take epic shot.
This is one of the latest gear I just acquired which gave me the ability to level-up my photo and videography game.
PODCAST GEAR
Podcast is still one of the medium that is currently underrated right now!
If you have a voice and think that having your own radio station is what you really desire, then here are the list of gears I used in my podcast.
This is the most robust gear I can find that has multiple functionality that i can used not just in podcasting, but as well as film-making.
MOBILE STATION
As a content creator, having all the essentials that can be packed in one bag is a must.
Being an artist who work in a fast paced environment must have a mobile editing station that you can grab from your bag anytime you have a dead-air to edit and review all the footage.
I don’t own a desktop because I am always on the go. This is what I used not just in photography but also in my online business.
So here’s the list of gears that I used.
EDITING SOFTWARE
I was into video before I even started taking photos.
The first video editing I used to edit my band footage was the software that I can’t even remember. This was back in 2008. Then I found Filmora that cost $29 at that time. I was really excited to use it because the ad was just amazing how to edit a video. It turns out that it is very limited when it come to functionality which resulted to a very amateur video.
I was really curious how pro film-makers edit their videos. To make long story short, I found out that 90% of them were using Premiere-Pro, one of the best line up of softwares developed by adobe.
Fast forward today, I have access to all their softwares that enables my creativity become real. In adobe suites, I used the following editing softwares;
- Premiere Pro
- After Effects
- Lightroom Classic
- Photoshop
- Illustrator
- Audition
- Dimension
